Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of organic light-emitting display technology, and in particular to a compound, a light extraction material, an organic electroluminescent device and a display apparatus. Background Art

[0002] An organic electroluminescent device (OLED) is a multilayer organic thin-film structure consisting of a light-emitting layer positioned between a cathode and an anode. When electricity is applied to the light-emitting layer, a waveguide effect, such as total internal reflection, occurs between the layers, reducing the amount of light transmitted. To address this issue, existing technologies often add a light extraction layer above the transparent electrode to improve light extraction efficiency.

[0003] In general, the higher the refractive index of the light extraction layer, the higher the light extraction efficiency from the electrode to the light extraction layer, and the higher the luminous efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device. However, the refractive index of the light extraction material currently used in the light extraction layer is relatively low, and therefore the light extraction efficiency is also relatively low. In addition, in the process of preparing organic electroluminescent devices, when plasma technology is used for flexible packaging, more ultraviolet light will be generated during the plasma glow discharge used, and there is also ultraviolet light in the atmosphere. Existing light extraction materials have strong absorption in the ultraviolet light band (below 400nm) and are prone to photoaging. Since the light extraction material is in the outer layer of the organic electroluminescent device, the light extraction material undergoes photoaging, which can easily cause the internal materials of the organic electroluminescent device to be affected by ultraviolet light, thereby reducing the luminous efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other embodiments can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0019] Figure 213 are the absorption spectra of Example 13 and Comparative Example 13. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] The first aspect of the present application provides a compound, the structure of which is shown in formula (I):

[0022]

[0023] in,

[0024] R is selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen or C1-C6 alkyl;

[0025] X1 and X2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, unsubstituted or Ra-substituted C6-C 50 aryl, unsubstituted or substituted C2-C 50 heteroaryl;

[0026] L1-L3 are each independently selected from a single bond, unsubstituted or Ra-substituted C6-C 50 Arylene, unsubstituted or substituted C2-C 50 Heteroarylene;

[0027] The substituents Ra of each group are independently selected from deuterium, C1-C4 alkyl, C6-C 18 Aryl, C2-C 18 heteroaryl;

[0028] The heteroatoms in the heteroaryl group and the heteroarylene group are each independently selected from O, S, and N.

[0029] The compound provided herein, represented by formula (I), has a core structure with good planarity, effectively improving light extraction efficiency. Furthermore, the core structure can form intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which can convert ultraviolet light into visible light while simultaneously vibrating.

[0030] Specifically, in the compound represented by formula (I), the hydrogen directly attached to the nitrogen atom in carbazole is an easily removable active hydrogen. This active hydrogen, together with the nitrogen atom on the pyridine, can form a hydrogen-bonded six-membered ring as shown in structure (IA). This hydrogen-bonded six-membered ring forms a resonance structure (IB) under ultraviolet light irradiation. This process converts the absorbed higher-energy ultraviolet light into lower-energy visible light.

[0031]

[0032] In addition, in the structure shown in formula (I), R, carbazole, pyridine and L3 are connected to form a linear structure. This structure has low steric hindrance, which is conducive to the close stacking of molecules, thereby increasing the refractive index of the light extraction material, which is conducive to the extraction of effective light emitted by the internal materials of the organic electroluminescent device.

[0033] At the same time, the intermolecular hydrogen bonds behave as attractive forces rather than repulsive forces, making the structure represented by formula (I) more planar, thereby further increasing the packing density between molecules and thereby increasing the light extraction efficiency, which is beneficial for extracting the effective light emitted by the materials inside the organic electroluminescent device.

[0034] Preferably, R is selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen or C1-C4 alkyl; X1 and X2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, C6-C4 unsubstituted or substituted by Ra 30 aryl, unsubstituted or substituted C2-C 30 L1-L3 are each independently selected from a single bond, unsubstituted or substituted C6-C 30 Arylene, unsubstituted or substituted C2-C 30 of heteroarylene.

[0035] More preferably, R is selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen or C1-C2 alkyl; X1 and X2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, C6-C 18 aryl, unsubstituted or substituted C2-C 18 L1-L3 are each independently selected from a single bond, unsubstituted or substituted C6-C 18 Arylene, unsubstituted or substituted C2-C 18 of heteroarylene.

[0036] More preferably, R is selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen or methyl;

[0037] X1 and X2 are each independently selected from hydrogen or any one of the following groups:

[0038]

[0039] L1-L3 are each independently selected from a single bond or any one of the following subunits:

[0040]

[0041] Further preferably, R is selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen or methyl;

[0042] X1 and X2 are each independently selected from hydrogen or any one of the following groups:

[0210] Performance testing of organic electroluminescent devices:

[0211] Specifically, the BJV test system is used to test the current efficiency and CIE color coordinates of organic electroluminescent devices.

[0212] For blue light devices, the blue light index (BI) is used to examine their luminous efficiency, and the CIEy value is mainly used to evaluate the saturation of the blue light color. The blue light index is obtained by dividing the current efficiency of the blue light device by the CIEy value. A larger CIEy value indicates that the blue light color has redshifted, and a smaller CIEy value indicates that the blue light color has blueshifted. Current efficiency is used to evaluate the luminous efficiency of green and red light devices. The color changes of green and red light devices are mainly evaluated by the CIEx value. A larger CIEx indicates a redshift of luminescence, and a smaller CIEx indicates a blueshift of luminescence.

[0213] Refractive index test:

[0214] The measurement instrument was a Radiation Technology Version-1.0.1.4 spectroscopic ellipsometer; the glass substrate was 200 mm x 200 mm, and the light extraction material film was 80 nm thick. The refractive index (n) of the compound was measured at different wavelengths.

[0215] UV aging test:

[0216] First, the voltage and BI value of the blue organic electroluminescent device are tested and recorded as the initial voltage and initial BI.

[0217] The prepared blue organic electroluminescent device was placed in a QUV-spray UV aging box, using a lamp with a wavelength of 340nm and a brightness of 0.8W / m 2 ; The temperature is room temperature; after 16 hours of ultraviolet light irradiation, take it out and place it in a black box to avoid light. The irradiation and light-avoidance process is repeated 5 times, and then the voltage and BI value of the blue light organic electroluminescent device are tested, which are recorded as light aging voltage and light aging BI.

[0218] Light aging voltage change = light aging voltage / initial voltage × 100%;

[0219] Photoaging BI change = photoaging BI / initial BI×100%.

[0220] Comparative experiment on photoaging methyl orange degradation:

[0221] Dissolve methyl orange in THF at a concentration of 10 mg / L to create a mother liquor. Dissolve the light extraction material in THF at a concentration of 1 mg / L to create a light extraction material solution. Place 9 ml of the mother liquor in a test tube, then add 1 ml of the light extraction material solution. Vortex to mix thoroughly, and seal the tube to obtain a mixed solution.

[0222] Methyl orange was dissolved in THF to obtain a methyl orange solution having a concentration of 9 mg / L. The absorbance of the methyl orange solution at a wavelength of 460 nm was measured and recorded as the initial absorbance.

[0223] The mixed solution was placed in a QUV-spray UV aging box, using a 340nm lamp with a brightness of 0.8W / m 2 ; The temperature is room temperature; after 18 hours of ultraviolet irradiation, the sample is taken out and the absorbance of the test solution at a wavelength of 460 nm is recorded as the absorbance after light aging.

[0224] Absorption spectrum test:

[0225] The light extraction materials from the examples and comparative examples were vacuum-evaporated onto a glass substrate at a deposition rate of 0.1 nm / s to form a 70 nm thick light extraction layer. A glass substrate was then placed over the light extraction layer to produce a test assembly with a structure of glass substrate / light extraction layer / glass substrate. The test assemblies were divided into two groups: one group was irradiated with UV light for 0 h, and the other group was irradiated with UV light for 144 h. The test assemblies were tested using a UV-visible absorption spectrometer.

[0226] The performance parameters of each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Table 1-Table 3:

[0227] Table 1 Performance parameters of organic electroluminescent devices

[0228]

[0229]

[0230] Note: “\” in Table 1 indicates no corresponding parameter.

[0231] It can be seen from Examples 1-30 and Comparative Examples 1-18 that when the light extraction layer has the same thickness, the red organic electroluminescent device and the green organic electroluminescent device containing the compound of the present application have a higher current efficiency, and the blue organic electroluminescent device containing the compound of the present application has a higher blue light index, indicating that the organic electroluminescent device containing the compound provided by the present application has better luminescence performance.

[0232] Regarding the red organic electroluminescent device and the green organic electroluminescent device, it can be seen from Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 10 that, at the same light extraction layer thickness, the current efficiency of the organic electroluminescent devices obtained in the examples is greater than that of the comparative examples. As the thickness of the light extraction layer changes, the CIEx and CIEy of the red and green organic electroluminescent devices change slightly. At the same time, among the red organic electroluminescent devices, for the red organic electroluminescent device containing compound 1-1, the thickness of the light extraction layer increases from 50nm to 90nm, and the current efficiency increases from 42cd / A to 54cd / A, an increase of 12cd / A; while for the red organic electroluminescent device containing compound A2 of the present application, the current efficiency increases from 44cd / A to 59cd / A, an increase of 15cd / A. In the green organic electroluminescent devices, as the light extraction layer thickness increased from 50 nm to 90 nm, the current efficiency of the green organic electroluminescent device containing compound 1-1 increased by 9 cd / A, from 122 cd / A to 131 cd / A. For the green organic electroluminescent device containing compound A2 of the present application, the current efficiency increased by 17 cd / A, from 129 cd / A to 146 cd / A. This indicates that, with the same change in light extraction layer thickness, the current efficiency of the red and green organic electroluminescent devices obtained in the examples increased more significantly than that of the comparative examples, indicating that the red and green organic electroluminescent devices containing the compounds of the present application exhibited better luminescence performance.

[0233] Regarding blue-light organic electroluminescent devices, it can be seen from Examples 11 to 15 and Comparative Examples 11 to 15 that, at the same light extraction layer thickness, the blue light index of the organic electroluminescent devices obtained in the examples is greater than that of the comparative examples, and the CIEy values are all lower than those of the comparative examples, indicating that the blue light color saturation of the blue-light organic electroluminescent devices containing the compounds of the present application is higher. For the blue-light organic electroluminescent device containing compound 1-1, when the light extraction layer thickness increases from 50nm to 90nm, the blue light index decreases from 89 to 77, a decrease of 12, and the CIEy increases from 0.059 to 0.083, an increase of 0.024. For the blue-light organic electroluminescent device containing compound A2 of the present application, when the light extraction layer thickness increases from 50nm to 90nm, the blue light index decreases from 100 to 92, a decrease of 8, and the CIEy increases from 0.052 to 0.058, an increase of 0.006. It can be seen that when the thickness of the light extraction layer changes by the same amount, the decrease in the blue light index and the red shift of the blue light of the blue light organic electroluminescent device obtained in the embodiment are smaller than those in the comparative example, indicating that the blue light organic electroluminescent device containing the compound of the present application has better luminescence performance and higher luminescent color saturation.

[0234] Table 2 Refractive index and light aging performance parameters of light extraction materials

[0235]

[0236] It can be seen from Table 2 that different light extraction materials have certain differences in the refractive index at the same wavelength, and when the compound provided in the present application is used for the light extraction material, its refractive index of red light, blue light and green light is higher than that of the comparative example, indicating that the compound provided in the present application has a higher refractive index when used as a light extraction material.

[0237] After 18 hours of light aging experiments, the absorbance of the methyl orange solution of compounds 1-1 and 1-2 decreased from 0.68 to 0.24 and 0.31, respectively, a decrease of 0.44 and 0.36, respectively, indicating that the methyl orange solution underwent significant decomposition under ultraviolet light irradiation. However, after 18 hours of light aging experiments, the absorbance of the compounds provided in this application was in the range of 0.48-0.51 after light aging, which was significantly higher than the absorbance of compounds 1-1 and 1-2 after light aging. This experiment shows that the addition of the light extraction material provided in this application significantly absorbs ultraviolet rays, effectively protecting the methyl orange dye in the solution, and the compound itself also has good light stability.

[0238] Table 3 Performance parameters of blue organic electroluminescent devices under UV aging test

[0239]

[0240]

[0241] As can be seen from Table 3, the voltage of the blue organic electroluminescent devices in Comparative Examples 13 and 18 increased by 3%-4% and the BI decreased by 7%-8% after the ultraviolet aging test, indicating that the blue organic electroluminescent devices underwent a significant aging process. The main reason for the decrease in BI value may be the aging of the light extraction material, which leads to a decrease in transmittance. The increase in voltage of the blue organic electroluminescent device indicates that the organic layer inside the blue organic electroluminescent device is also damaged by ultraviolet light. However, the BI of the blue organic electroluminescent devices in Examples 13, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 decreased by 1%-3%, which is a smaller decrease. The voltage of the blue organic electroluminescent device remains unchanged or increases slightly by 1%-2%, indicating that the light extraction material provided in the present application has strong light stability and can also protect the organic layer inside the blue organic electroluminescent device, thereby improving the ultraviolet weathering resistance of the blue organic electroluminescent device.

[0242] Figure 2 The absorption spectra of Example 13 and Comparative Example 13 are shown. Figure 2 (a) shows the absorption spectra of the light extraction material of Example 13 when irradiated with ultraviolet light for 0 h and 144 h. Figure 2 (b) shows the absorption spectra of the light extraction material of Comparative Example 13 after irradiation with ultraviolet light for 0 h and 144 h. Figure 2 As shown in Figures (a) and (b), after 144 hours of UV irradiation, the absorption intensity of Example 13, using the light extraction material of the present application, decreased significantly less than that of Comparative Example 13, which used a light extraction material from the prior art. The absorbance at the absorption peak of 377nm decreased by 6.3% in Comparative Example 13, while the absorbance at the absorption peak of 379nm in Example 13 decreased by only 1.7%, indicating that the light extraction material of the present application is less affected by UV light and has a stronger tolerance to UV light.
